The IBM PowerVM hypervisor provides virtualization on POWER hardware. This driver will provide capability to use PowerVM as a virtualization driver in OpenStack Nova.

As ecosystems continue to evolve around the POWER platform, a single OpenStack
driver does not meet all of the needs for the varying hypervisors. The work
done here is to build a PowerVM driver within the broader community. This
will sit alongside the existing libvirt based driver utilized by PowerKVM
environments.
